Gauge-Fixing the Forward-Forward Objective: A Whitened Goodness Derived from a Likelihood-Ratio Account

arXiv:2607.12501v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The Forward-Forward algorithm trains each layer locally, so that a scalar goodness - the sum of squared activations - is high on real inputs and low on contrastive ones. Under an explicit generative model this goodness is the sufficient statistic of a likelihood
